Adrenals don't get fatigued | Felice Gersh, MD

Are you frequently tired?
Do you get brain fog or feel like you lack motivation?
Maybe you have trouble sleeping or crave salty foods?
If so, you've likely stumbled across "Adrenal Fatigue." Maybe you've even been diagnosed with it. I'm going to cut to the chase here: Adrenal Fatigue is not a legitimate medical diagnosis. It isn't recognized by any mainstream medical associations, including the Endocrine Society.
That doesn't mean that your symptoms aren't real! Quite the opposite. But if you feel bad, you deserve an accurate medical diagnosis and a treatment plan based on science and a real understanding of how the body works.
In this episode, I explain what causes "adrenal fatigue" symptoms like chronic fatigue and brain fog and how to best address these symptoms so you can feel better.

I thought my kidneys were aching but my dr told me it’s my adrenals & both of my functional drs told me that I am in fatigue. To stop anything in my life that causes stress that can be eliminated. I am working on mindfulness so that my body doesn’t continue to break down.

So educational

So what do you do if your cortisol levels are low all day but your ACTH stimulation test is normal? Life is going well except for lack of energy. Lack of sleep and low energy are my major stressors. I don’t know where to turn.
